Ciel's dream's that night were rather disturbing, there was a lot of blood and screaming, but when he woke up that was all he remembered. What had he been dreaming about? He was covered in sweat and panting worse than if he'd run a few thousand miles before he'd become a demon. He had an awful headache as if a knife were going through his head. And Sebastian was staring down at him. "Are you alright, my lord?" A genuine care touched Sebastian's eye through his poker-face and the crack's seemed to be getting bigger, soon all Sebastian would be left with would be a face full of his emotion's and nothing to hind them behind, soon the dam would break and Sebastian's thought's would be reviled.
"I'm fine." Ciel grumbled as he sat up.
Sebastian didn't seem fooled, maybe it was the sweat?, but he let it go. "Would you like your breakfast?"
"No, I'm good." Ciel knew if he kept up his act long enough Sebastian would go away. Ciel sat up and put his hand on his head and closed his eye's tightly as the pain in his head intensified.
"Are you sure your alright?" Sebastian asked again.
"No, he's not," Grell answered as he jumped into existence.
Ciel groaned and looked up. Anger suddenly flooded through him as he looked for something, anything, to kill that reaper with. He spotted a silver knife on the trolley Sebastian had brought in with him and grabbed it. Before either Sebastian or Grell could realize what was happening Ciel had thrown the knife at Grell's head.
Sebastian, being fast, grabbed it just millimeter's before it would have hit Grell right between the eye's. Ciel stood there, frozen with shock, unable to figure out why or how he'd done that but Grell seemed to know, to understand. "It's alright, I saw this coming." Grell didn't seem fazed by the fact Ciel had almost killed him. "My twin killed the f... three of you. Alex never did seem to know where to stop. It's dead now, though. And you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Grell added as he studied their confused faces. They shook their head's, but while Ciel did the pain in his made it feel like his head was on fire and he closed his eye's and saw... A person that look just like Grell standing over him with a... Death Scythe like a lawnmower?
Ciel felt Sebastian shaking his shoulder and calling for him, "Young master?"
Ciel groaned in response and sat up. Then he noticed Grell was sitting on the chair next the window and studying him with great interest. "What?"
"What did you see?" Grell asked.
"A you with a funny looking death scythe. Not your's but a different one." Ciel looked Grell over. The other reaper held it's self taller, prouder, and dressed like a guy. Grell's hair was longer than the other reaper.
"Yeah, as I thought, she did kill you." Grell sat there silent for a few minute's until he realized Ciel was staring at him in alarm. "What?"
"Your sister?" Ciel shook his head. "Tell me you didn't say she."
Grell, however laughed and Sebastian looked confused. "What?"
Ciel covered his eye as he answered. "His sister, the one who killed us, looked exactly like him. Only she dresses like a man, the way he should." That's one screwed up family, Ciel added in his thought's as Sebastian shook his head in disgust.
"Did you see anything else?" Grell seemed very interested.
"No," Ciel removed his hand's from his face. "Why?"
"Just curious." Grell studied Ciel as if trying to pull the truth from behind the lie Ciel had told for, in truth, Ciel had seen more, he just didn't remember it.
"Before, you almost said four of us," Ciel looked Grell in the eye, "Why?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Grell stood and left, not waiting to finish the conversation.
Sebastian stared after Grell, "Well the was odd."
"Yes, it was," Ciel sighed. "Do I have any paper work to do today?"
"No, me and Tanaka finished all there was to do yesterday before you woke up. The company is still moving forwards." Sebastian went to the closet to get Ciel's clothes for the day. "Although there a letter from the Queen."
"Oh?" Ciel questioned as he stood and stretched. "And what is the post date on it?"
"Two weeks ago." Sebastian said. "It's about people being murdered in a way like they were under going a ritual. With cut's on their arm's, stomach, and thigh's."
"And you've already made a suspect list," Ciel stated more than asked.
"Yes," Sebastian began dressing Ciel for the day as he continued. "The suspect's are Claude, David, and Annah. I've already looked at the bodies and the was no demon blood added to these victims."
Ciel nodded and smiled slightly. "Then the threat's must be vanquished." He crossed his arm's as Sebastian finished dressing him.
"Are you sure you don't want breakfast, my lord?" Sebastian walked over to the trolley and began pushing it to the door.
"I'm alright," Ciel said as he followed Sebastian from the room.
Sebastian turned right towards the kitchen and Ciel turned left towards his desk. Maybe I'll read a- Ciel's thought's were interrupted when he walked his office and saw a cat out the window. The cat was black and had red-ish orange eye's. Ciel moved closer to the window and put his knee on the windowsill to get a better view of the cat and the cat stared back. They stayed there like that for a few minutes until Sebastian came in and asked. "What are you doing?" Ciel lifted his hand and pointed at the cat and Sebastian came over. "Oh."
"Stay here and watch it. If it moves: follow it." Ciel said as he walked from the room and went to the kitchen and got some milk in a bowl. He went out and set the bowl before the cat. He stroke its soft fur as it lapped up the milk. When it finished Ciel picked up the bowl and went back to the house and the cat followed. He went to the kitchen and put the bowl in the sink and still hadn't realized the cat was following him. Ciel got to his office and sat down before he noticed the cat, and that was only because the cat jumped up on his lap. Ciel studied the cat, a feeling of unease settled in as he noticed the cat's eye's matched Grell and Grell's sister Alex's hair color.
